How can I reconnect with my ex after a painful breakup that happened just before our wedding?
My story:
I was in a deep, emotional relationship that almost ended in marriage. We truly loved each other, but we had many ups and downs. I would often get angry when I felt misunderstood or disrespected, and she would pull away when she felt hurt or pressured. We both wanted love, but we didn’t know how to stay calm when emotions got intense.
A week before our wedding, we had another painful argument that brought back all the old issues. I lost control, got angry, and took back the gifts I had given her. That was the final breakup. After that, she and her family treated me very harshly, and her father even threatened me.
It’s been a while since then. I’ve done therapy and tried to understand my emotions better. But I still think about her — not out of obsession, but because I truly care. I believe what we had was real, even if it went wrong.
My question:
Is it ever possible to rebuild communication after such a painful breakup, when both sides have been deeply hurt and pride is involved?
If yes, how can I approach her again in a respectful and emotionally mature way?
